Stand With Texas Carriage Operators
THCA membership is more than a card in your wallet. It's a commitment to protecting this industry — and the people and animals who depend on it.
What Your Membership Provides
Legislative Representation
Your membership funds our Capitol advocacy. When a city tries to ban carriage operations, THCA is there — with lawyers, lobbyists, and a unified member voice.
Legal Resources
Access our library of legal templates, regulatory guidance, and case studies from operators who have successfully defended their right to operate.
Statewide Network
Connect with hundreds of operators across Texas. Share best practices, find trusted vendors, and build relationships that strengthen the entire industry.
Industry News
Stay ahead of regulatory changes, legislative developments, and industry news with our member newsletter and real-time legislative alerts.
Welfare Standards
Access THCA's evidence-based welfare guidelines — developed by veterinarians and experienced operators — to demonstrate your commitment to professional animal care.
Community Events
Participate in THCA-organized shows, rallies, and community events that celebrate working horses and build public support for our industry.
